Liam Gallagher teased fans who spotted him heading to the toilet backstage at Live ’25 reunion tour with a cheeky drug reference.
Never one to shy away from the cameras, the Oasis legend waved to get fans’ attention after he spotted them filming him while outside a backstage portaloo.
Alluding to his wild youth, Liam, 52, then mimicked snorting cocaine multiple times before heading into the toilet.
At the height of Oasis’ fame in the 90s and 00s, the band was known for a party lifestyle with drink and drugs fueling their rock and roll star status.
The Champagne Supernova icons have since quietened down their antics, with Liam previously revealing he had stopped drinking ahead of the reunion tour to ‘get healthy’.
Getting healthy doesn’t mean he’s lost his sense of humour though as fans praised him on TikTok, where the clip was posted by 1981quarterpounder.
‘What mysterious activity is he suggesting to us🤔🤔,’ joked anstilt as emgem91 wrote: ‘Just Liam being Liam.’
‘Never change’ said jeddolls, before adding: ‘Honestly made me laugh so much.’
Some commenters were concerned he was ‘setting a bad example’ for younger fans, prompting debates about his ‘sense of humour’.
‘A good example for the young generation,’ complained boggle68, to which suggocatingsorrow responded it’s ‘not his job to bring kids up properly’.
‘Fair enough if he was straight up encouraging it but he’s not so,’ they added.
Many pointed out he could have simply been struggling with hayfever or a cold and was miming blowing his nose instead.
‘He’s trying to say he’s going to blow his nose as his hayfever is giving him some grief… what else could he be saying? 😂,’ joked shieldzy89.
‘Poor Liam suffering from hay fever, must be bad constantly blowing your nose when your trying to perform 🤧,’ added jlangdon4.
In those dizzying 18 months of Oasismania, Liam was often in headlines for his tendency to overindulge and destroy one or two hotel rooms in his wake.
While Noel, 58, was generally seen as more reserved, his younger brother developed a reputation for running riot at the afterparties with drink and drugs.
A drunken Liam once smashed up the studio they were recording in with a cricket bat, which also ended up being used by Noel to whack his sibling on the head.
In their Supersonic biography, Michael Spencer Jones, the photographer behind Oasis’ first three album covers, said a local repairman declared they hadn’t seen damage like that ‘since Ozzy Osbourne and Sabbath were recording [t]here.’
‘As soon as a line went up my nose, I could have been anywhere, mate,’ Liam said of the (What’s The Story) Morning Glory album launch party.
Speaking to The Guardian in 2017, the Slide Away singer shared: ‘There are a few of my mates that ain’t here no more, through drugs. There are a few that are in the nick.
‘So I think I wouldn’t have got a proper job because I’m not that clever with that stuff. So I’d have been digging or dead or really badly into drugs, which would obviously lead to being dead.
‘Rock ’n’ roll saved my life. And I am forever in debt. I am forever in debt to rock ’n’ roll, and I would never, ever think of doing another form of music. Ever.’
